2021 Business Report
1 Implementation Results
The company’s individual earning was 2,848,057 thousand on 2021, and the annual Consolidated Revenue was 2,850,638 thousand, consolidated after tax loss of (70,016)thousand, of which attributable to the owners of the company, of which was loss $ 69,958 thousands. After tax, the consolidated basic and diluted loss per share were both $ 0.38. Compared with 2020, the consolidated operating income in 2021 increased slightly, mainly because countries have gradually adjusted their ways to deal with COVID-19. Sales and revenue from Antioxidants or K-Mars 110 are near ten-year highs. However, relatively affected by the termination of the Dajia factory asset agreement, the operation of the flame retardant production line has been put on hold for several months; some plant protection products have resumed production in China, and the client has gradually turned to China based on cost considerations; limited nucleating agents were produced due to insufficient manpower; the US dollar exchange rate continued to drop to a new low on 2021, and other factors have adversely affected revenue. After taking into account the above factors, the revenue showed a slight increase of 98,037 thousand by 3.56%.
In the second half of 2021, countries gradually opened up and got rid of COVID-19. The market demand recovered, but due to the disorder of international freight, The lack of work in the supply chain and the increase in the cost of raw materials caused by China’s rectification and environmental protection have offset the benefits brought by the increase in selling prices, and the continued adoption of loose monetary policies in various of countries has caused the US dollar exchange rate against TWD to remain at a low level throughout the year, which contributed to the gross profit margin still at a low level. In addition, due to the land remendiation case in Taiping Plant, the remediation costs of the last phase of the Pingzhen and Dali NO.2 plants have been recognized as periodical expense in 2020. Therefore, the operating expenses and non-operating income of this year have decreased significantly compared with the previous year.
The table below shows our implementation results of 2021, compared with the data from 2020:

Well utilize the Company’s know-hows in chemicals and manufacturing products. For instance:
-
(1) Produce personal sanitization products (special cosmetic) using cGMP qualifications from Chuansing Factory
-
(2) Given the recyclable character of Polymer(TPE/TPU), develop footwear using 100% Polymer then recycle and reuse
-
(3) Seek out businesses that are chemical-related and supported by the government
2.3.2.4 “Save Energy, Save Earth”
In response to the “Save Energy, Save Earth” campaign, our future manufacturing process design will take action to promote energy saving, decarbonization, recycle and reuse, and to exploit the decarbonization technology.
3 Overview of Technology and R&D
3.1 Technical Level

5 The Impact from the external competition, regulatory environment, and business operation
According to IMF statistics, the global economic growth rate is expected to decline from 6.1%
in 2021 to 3.6% in 2022. In early 2022, the number of Omicron infections will increase, inflation will rise, regional conflicts will rise, and protectionism will take the lead. And other factors, the situation of economic recovery and future changes in the economic environment are still full of variables.
The Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) and the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) implement tariff reductions among member states for Taiwanese companies that rely on imports and exports, which will decrease Taiwan’s competitiveness in the international market as a non-member state.
Adverse effects due to the promotion of a series of policies such as international ESG
development trends, renewable energy development regulations, and domestic environmental
20
protection regulations, it is necessary for enterprises to invest money to update air pollution equipment, set up renewable energy power generation facilities, and use high costs. In terms of carbon reduction, there is currently no cost-effective and effective carbon capture method due to the lack of technological breakthroughs. Small companies are limited by limited resources and gradually replace them with new and more energy-efficient equipment in the early stage. More environmentally friendly natural gas, research more efficient processes to achieve carbon reduction. The biggest source of carbon emissions is the electricity required for the manufacturing process. This part is beyond the capabilities of small companies. Currently, it is still waiting for relevant government units to plan the future national net-zero carbon emissions path and relevant policy guidelines for the industry to follow.
